General Information 15U A and AA

Field Prep:

Near the start of the season, we will have our annual pre-season field preparation day. The more hands available to help, the more efficiently the work will get done.

Coaching

The league is run entirely by volunteers, coaches included! It is our goal to have a minimum of 2 coaches per team with 2 parent helpers (to help out at practices and games) and 1 Team Business Manager (to send email communications on behalf of the coaches) for each team at this level.

Each team will ultimately determine how they would like to structure their coaching staff, but the following is a rough guideline of what is entailed with each role:

Head Coach/Manager (1):

  • Must submit a criminal record check prior to the start of the season.  Follow these instructions.
  • Must complete an online NCCP Level 1 coaching certification (cost to be reimbursed by the association): http://nccp.baseball.ca/register.php
  • Attend every practice and game, as well as the pre-season coaches meeting.
  • Organize practices, drills
  • Determine team line-ups for games
  • Have a thorough understanding of the divisional rules
  • Liaise with umpires
  • Send team communications

Assistant Coach (1):

  • Must submit a criminal record check prior to the start of the season  Follow these instructions.
  • Must complete an online NCCP Level 1 coaching certification (cost to be reimbursed by the association): http://nccp.baseball.ca/register.php
  • Attend every practice and game
  • Assist with practices, drills
  • Run warm-ups
  • Base coaching and/or running the pitching machine

Team Business Manager (1):

  • Organize team volunteers for field prep and score-keeping
  • Liaise with Head Coach/Manager for team communication
  • Collect player availability for practices and games

Parent Helper (2):

  • This is not an official coaching role, does not require a criminal record check and you will not get the glory of wearing a coaches shirt...but you will be greatly appreciated by parents, kids and coaches.
  • Involves helping out at all practices and games.

Parent involvement:

ALL families are required to assist with team duties. These duties consist of score-keeping, field prep at ALL regular season home games. Don't worry! We will provide additional information on these opportunities for these duties, so no advanced experience is required.
